Ronw's perspective might differ slightly, but there
is something about the font rendering on the Kobo which is quite nice -- I remember being captivated by the appearance of the letters when I first started using the ereader. Come to think of it, I probably like the look of the Kobo's font better than the Sony's.
Overall however, in terms of reading experience, the 350's text is a darker black and therefore has better contrast against the background, which also looks paler. For me, there's definitely not as strong a contrast between the Kobo's text and its background, with the text looking greyish and faded in comparison. I suppose that's the natural outcome of Pearl vs Viziplex.
So, maybe the Kobo just uses a very elegant serif font? (I never used the sans-serif option.)
